I didn't ratify my city's bullshit zoning laws but they're still a threat to me

I'd argue the year of the Linux desktop passed years ago and now it's just a saturation game. Most serious SW development is now on Linux laptops/desktops, Android owns the mobile space and versions are starting to make huge inroads in the laptop space. You can buy gaming systems running it trivially now.

Conversely, casual users of windows are dying off, fewer non technical people are using desktops for anything at all. Only institutional users are buying Windows keys and they're some of the easiest to get on Linux because of the cost savings, particularly if you run Linux server infrastructure, a fight we already won over a decade ago.

Making ai more efficient will just mean more ai

That's what I'm saying, a 10gal tank of gas will get you 500mi in most mid size hybrids of that type, a little further in something like a prius. You'd need a full size battery (full ev type capacity) plus another 10gal to get to that range which is an insane amount of weight to carry around.

China is getting gud at EVs but that's a bullshit marketing number if I've ever seen one.

Gasoline and batteries have a finite amount of energy storage and unless they're lugging around a 20 gallon tank and a 300mi battery they're full of shit

AGPL just in case they try to put your brain waves into the cloud

The one pictured is a more modern model, but the original L96 is, with 90s era machine tools, the one that's probably easier to make in a garage. All the stampings on the sten are substantially more difficult to create as a one-off, but the action on the L96 just needs a lathe and a broach or EDM, all the rest of it a series of very simple milled components and a composite stock that you could build a mold for out of fiberglass and Bondo.

Would buy this immediately if it came to the US, but I would also bet good money it's not coming to the US...

I want a 1995 ranger that's electric, those things were great

Yes, but there's already a steep tariff, it would be nice to let them light a small fire under the us automakers so they make better products for us, instead were kinda just letting them be evil and lazy.

Not if it's electric (for emissions)
